We hustled our way out of Marseille making another 6PM departure for Monte Carlo just 142 nautical miles up the Mediterranean coast line. We arrived in Monaco the next morning (Wednesday April 7) at 6AM. We had traversed six time zones and 4860 nautical miles in 16 days.
Our bags had been placed outside our suite the night before and were all organized on the dock for our assorted bus departures.
After 16 days of shipboard coddling we were now facing the cold reality of modern air travel! Passengers scattered to many destinations. Sixty one of us bussed to the nearby Nice airport to catch an 11AM flight for Frankfurt where we then caught a Lufthansa flight to Denver. A final connection brought us to Phoenix. Much to our astonishment all flights were on time and we arrived in Phoenix at 8PM for a two hour drive back to Tucson.I've said it all by now other than recognizing what an opportunity it is to do such trips. If you are a reader of these posts I hope you are inspired to do your own explorations.
